There is a trolley switch box in front of Enle’s market on West street, Dan- bury, that has been the cause of much surprise to many horses that have been hitched to the trolley pole within the past week. The pole is charged with electricity and. when the lever is turn. ed to the right, a large bolt head in the middle of the box is also charged. If a horse touches this bolt head in rubbing its nose over the surface of the box, it receives a shock which sends it down on its knees. A half dozen horses have received shocks during a week. The bolt was covered with a piece of wood at one time, but it has been broken off by horses and the electric charged iron is now uncovered. .-___.__.,.._______ Seed Oyster Season.

Hoyt of South Norwalk, cwas the hero of a life saving exploit at Burn’s Point in Derby, Sunday afternoon. About 4' o‘clock several boys were in bathing, and en shore there were a few ladies promenading about. It was ebb tide, but one of the boys, named Joseph Guilfoi‘l, who resides in V-Vaterbury, had waded out to deep water. He was carried out with the tide and went un- der the surface. Being unable to swim he could not save himself and would have been drowned but for the timely arrival of Ira. ' When the boy felt that he was in deep water he gave an outcry that at- tracted the attention of the other boys, among them being his younger broth- er, and they at once gave the alarm. Ira was sitting on the veranda of the Milford Beach hotel when he heard the cries of the. boys and ladies, and rushing down to the beach he saw Guilfoil struggling in the deep water. He at once took in the situation and without stopping to take off any clothes dashed in and soon reached the drown- ing boy, who had sunk for the second time. Ira seized the boy by his arm and swimming out of the deep water soon had him ashox e. ‘ Young Guilfoil had swallowed some water, but remedies were applied and he was relieved. John W. Larkin, city clerk of Derby, also: heard the outcry, but was some distance away and before he could reach the boy Ira had him out of dan- ger. The people who saw the affair are loud in their praises of Mr. Boy for his brave act. The boy’s father expressed his gratitude and offered him a sum of money, Which Ira refused with thanks. ___. _-__._‘. - >_.___._ Ex-Marshal Strong Dead. Emory F.

The steam dredgcr Samson was lying in midchannel at work. There was not room for the yacht to pass between her and the west bank of the channel.
